Abstract:Microglia and astrocytes undertake numerous essential roles in nervous systems but we know little of their anatomical distribution within numerous nuclei. In the principal nuclei of the mammalian auditory midbrain, the inferior colliculi (IC), the cellular density and relative distribution of glutamate synthetase (GS) expressing astrocytes and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1) expressing microglia is unknown. To address this, the IC of young adult, male Wistar rats were immunohistochemically la… Show more
